Vegalante ☮: Vegan Athletes

Strong in mind, strong in body

I understand that if I want to look like this I'm going to have to eat up (calories, of the right vegan lowfat kind) and exercise up, have more water to increase metabolism.

Derek Tresize, Vegan Warrior, is the bodybuilding winner! I think he looks the most alert!! The others' stamina is waning! He has emotional stead too - compassion! I think it's crazy how uneducated opinion believes that you must eat dead animals to consume protein, yet they wouldn't bite into a sparrow or a pigeon, or a dove! Can't reap peace whilst reaping the living! Recently, a competitive fighter contacted me and said he was looking into VEGANISM as lots of pro-fighters are going vegan for lean muscles. Gordon Gopher it!

'Real men dont hurt animals', just today I watched footage of pigs castration, teeth clipping and tail docking, reported by VIVA UK, which I've seen before in other investigations, but hope my friends will only listen through prompting. Man up and watch the footage then ask this vegan where he gets his protein, is that really the main concern? It's beguiling.

Marzia (Fitness Model)
 "I get asked on a daily basis are “Where do you get your protein?” and “What do you get to eat?” 
First off “What do I get to eat?” I simply tell them I get to eat high quality organic real whole foods. Then I get the look like “What’

s that?!” I go into depth about how real whole foods are there to nourish the body cell by cell. Your body will cleanse itself from the inside out. It makes you feel energized and it is fundamental to good health and well being. It changes you for the better. I have never felt better in my life than I do right now. Vegan Body Building

'Murray Rose is one of the worlds most historic vegan athletes. He was Australia’s Olympic swimming star. He had set 15 world records and won six Olympic medals, including four golds, which made him a sports legend and hero in Australia.

During Rose’s long career he ate a vegan diet and followed a vegan lifestyle. In 1958 he told Groucho Marx on the radio program “You Bet Your Life” that his gold medals in 1956 could be attributed to his veganism.'

NFL's Arian Fosters. Vegan. Photo NFP. '"Everybody cares what I eat now," Foster said. "They didn't care before, but they do now. Everybody is a nutritionist now and they're an expert on protein. Every day, every single day somebody knows something new to do." Just observe his back-to-back 1,000-yard years!

'"I saw a documentary in high school that really turned me on to getting aware of it. It didn't change my diet then, but it made me think about the myths about protein. I said a while ago that when I quit playing football, I would probably become a vegetarian and I thought I needed the protein. Then I did some research with doctors who in their world are considered kind of radical. To me, it's radical we have heart disease and 12-year-old kids with diabetes. "'

Olympics

Lizzie Armitstead - Vegetarian Wins First GB Olympic Medal  87-mile road cycling race - When she won, I did presume she was vegetarian! "we lived mostly on a diet of rice, beans, ugali (a dough made of maize flour and water) and green vegetables. The list of gold medals the Kenyan athletes have won on the track is almost endless. (On a personal note, I returned home to run a marathon in under three hours.)" Lizzie says she thrives by not "eating corpses" and insisted on being vegetarian at age 10, a common age for realisation that the dead flesh was from animal bodies!

Jessica Ennis has a high carb 'low-protein' lifestyle (fruit juice for energy!) and won Gold for UK heptathlon 4th August 2012, although not vegan. Victoria Peddleton recommends a low fat high carb lifestyle too: 'I tend to have two slices of wholemeal toast as its rich in fibre which can help you feel fuller for longer and so could help stop snacking. I have it for breakfast and it works for me! My personal favourite topping is peanut butter topped with slices of banana.'

Yohan Blake (beat World Champion Sprinter Usain Bolt) eats 16 ripe bananas a day as part of his training lifestyle for energy (a minimum of 32g protein a day in fruit alone).

Banana for exercise fuel (carbs) and repair - potassium (which regulates heartbeat, muscle repair and water retention regulation. Eating fat, and the fats left in your stomach, make you bloated not the fruit. Bananas help to improve digestion. It shows that it's not about how bulky you look it's about how finely tuned and strong you are, from the inside out! Saturating your gut with animal fat and animal protein is just that - filling it with hard-to-digest corpses, bad for stamina. One medium banana contains: 2.3g Protein. See. Rainforest Run & Protein in Bananas
